Why this helps
Course launch materials often arrive in different formats, leaving image text harder to find and reuse.
- Bring image text into a readable form during course setup.
- Make important launch details easier to reference.
- Reduce manual copying from course images.

- 1Connect Canvas and Astica ai once in Notis.

Questions about this workflow
Will this find every image already in a course?
The workflow can process only image sources available to Notis from the trigger context. The event description does not guarantee a complete course file inventory.
Does OCR analyze the meaning of the image?
No. ASTICA_READ_TEXT extracts raw text from an image; it does not interpret or summarize its meaning.
